Sixth Circuit Court Judge George Greer ruled late Monday afternoon that George Felos and Michael Schiavo cannot implement their stated plan to withdraw the gastric feeding tube of Terri Schindler-Schiavo until a hearing is held on Weds, Feb 23 to determine if the stay in effect from Greer's 2000 death order should remain in place while her parents, Mary and Robert Schindler Sr., continue with their legal options in trying to keep her alive.
The Schindlers had hoped to convince the court that starving Terri to death would violate her religious liberties. As a Catholic, the Schindlers contend Terri would not want to have her life ended.
If anyone ever deserved a second chance, it's Terri Schiavo, the central figure in a battle for the rights of the handicapped. She has no idea of the controversy swirling about her, and has been unaware of the fight for her life since she collapsed of a potassium deficiency in 1990. But regardless of the why and how, Terri's collapse starved her brain of oxygen, and she has never been mentally or physically revived past a semi-vegetative state.

I'm not saying you and others have no right to join a thread, you do, but I don't understand the motivation.
Her "Husband", and I use that term very loosely, could care less about Terri. He has already moved on with his life by impregnating another woman twice and is living with said other woman.....so much for being a "husband". Guess he forgot the part about "being ONE Body"......
You have no idea what is lying there.
But even if I weren't a strong advocate of her parents, I still like to think that if I made a mistake I'd make that mistake on the side of life.
" Terri's own neurologist said these are just reflexes."
You mean the one either hired by her husband or appointed by the court?
" I wouldn't rule that out."
So you mean she really isn't moving, laughing or crying in the video? It's photoshopped?
" Isn't that what these people who watch this video are doing?"
It's one thing to say that someone who isn't lying on bed in a 'vegetative state' and is active, is alive.
It's quite another for someone to say the because what they see in a video, with actually examination, leads them to believe this person is brain dead.
Please!
"...Mrs. Schindler is not in a "semi-vegetative" state. This is a lie that keeps being repeated over and over and over again."
You're right. Mrs. Schindler is not in a "semi-vegetative" state. However, Mrs. Terri Schiavo is in a "persistent vegetative" state. This is not a lie, it is a legal fact.
Why don't you get over yourself. You don't like the responses you get? Don't post!!! You sure as s#$t got it wrong as to what I would want for myself or what I would think if she were on welfare. What have you gotten right today?
Ya know
this kind of stuff from the people claiming she is a shell is way too close to Hitler's little T-4 project...
It only killed about 80,000 people BEFORE he ever started the death camps.....
This has got to be dumb@ss comment of the day! You just open your mouth and spew don't you? You know absolutely zippity squat about this case but YOU'VE got all the answers. Oh yeah.
No. It's not. But thanks for your opinion. ;-)
" who just want to care for her until she draws her last breath"
I have no problem with that but it seems like they really want the state of Florida to take care of her to me, not really the same thing.
Exactly
The slippery slope

And we all know the courts are always morally and ethically correct in everything they rule--especially when a judge and the court system and hospital are all in kahoots to begin the legalization process for "euthanasia" so-called.
If the court rules something, then it must be beyond reproach. Silly me. I am so gullible.
"This is a lie (semi-vegetative state) that keeps being repeated over and over and over again."
This is a lie that keeps being repeated over and over and over again.
This is a lie that keeps being repeated over and over and over again.
One thing for sure, with all this breaking news today, I'm able to make a longer list of poster to ignore in the future.
GEEZ.....who are these people?
HI!
I'm eeeeeeevil conservative!
Under ***New Signs of Awareness in Some Brain-Injured Patients Comments from Cheryl Ford RN
'...He testified that Terri has brain tissue in all the major structures of her brain. Terri's most severe damage is in her occipital region and probably her eyesight is affected the most. It is possible for her to retain memories, as she still has tissue in that part of her brain. And finally, he detects a change FOR THE BETTER between her 96 and her 2002 CT scans, which he attributes to the body's natural tendency to heal itself. Can brain tissue regenerate? YES! ....'

EXCELLENT website!
Actually, they have stated they are will to pay ALL of her medical expenses.
They aren't asking the state of Florida to do it.
"Although the physicians are not in complete agreement concerning the extent of Mrs. Schiavo's brain damage, they all agree that the brain scans show extensive permanent damage to her brain. The only debate between the doctors is whether she has a small amount of isolated living tissue in her cerebral cortex or whether she has no living tissue in her cerebral cortex."
Ah, well...and so it goes...
